Costumes, ChrisImn Toys.
(From New York Lettor)
AS moire is the leading material in
handsome outfits of every kind, SO is it
the first choice in bridal costumes.
Scarce ever alone, but combined with
other fabrics, such rs failie Francaiso,
gros grain or heavy rep or satin, which
come in for their share of attention and
are the rather chosen for some quite
stylish occasions. For semi dress cere-
monies, silk warp white wool is pretty
and rivals cashmere, both Of which can
be offset by richer goods, while attrac.
tive and comparatively inexpensive
dresses are of white India or China silk.
Styles IN making tend towards simplici-
ty, adOrnment being brought about more
by trimming than complicated sweep of
drapery, but these ideas are not rigorous
and occasionally for slender bride the
nodiste employs the bou1lant. In Gen

The fasting match of Succi and Mer-
latti is what now amuses Paris. They
both come from the fat and Hat Lom-
hardy. where the power of money To pur-
chase creature comforts and theatrical
amusements is perhaps greater than any
where else in Europe. Merlatti is an
artist by profession and has learned 10
fast because he wanted to make fasting
an art. He can equally well play the
part of Tanner ora Gargantua. There
was never perhaps a stomach SO endur-
ing as his, either of hunger or Of indiges-
tible food. In the last respect il is well
nigh match for that Of the ostrich. He
explains Elijah's long fast by indigesti-
bility of the cake baked on the Goals by
the angels. 1t was sort of 'damper,"
like what Australian miners used TO eat
In the gold fever days. Merlatti is strong
In the jaw 10 bull dog extent. He has
those b. lonos and big muscles which
show ogt through the thin flesh Of his
cheek. ard which, with his prominent
cheek..lgs and bright, small, sharp
eyes, form as queer a physiognomy as Is
usually seen. His power to scrunch
walnuts shells and INCEST them with
gusto is remarkable. He ate two dozen
walnuts, husks and all, and large fat
goose, with the bones thereof, on the eve
Of his fasting period. Merlatti has moved
to the Grand hotel because the air in the
rooms where he was in the RUG Tronchett
was poisoned with the crowd that went
to see him.-Chicago Herald.

Red Hot shot at Fort sumter.

Beauregard determined to give the
fort dose Of red hot shot.
You never saw cannon shooting red
hot shot, did you, young reader.
A cold cannon ball is bad enough, but
when you see a red hot ball coming il is
time TO stand from under.
This is the way they did it.
Into furnace they droped solid
shot. Then they charged a cannon with
powder. Down the cannon wa rammed
a block of wood. Then a wadding of
wet hempen packing. Then another
block Of wood.
The iron shot was glowing with heat.
Looking like "A miniature sun as it lay in
the furnace.
A man stands at the lanyard of the
cannon. All is ready. Two men with
tongs seize the red hot ball and dash il
down the cannon's throat. Quick as q
flash the lanyard is jerked.
Boom.
WhiZz.
Away goes the red hot shot and falls
into the fort.
A thin smoke curls upward. II grows
denser and denser as it rises in the air.

One Of the marked incongruities Of
the policy Of Commissioner Sparks is
his refusal to endorse q proposition to
surrey the Northern Pacific lands.
The company asks that they be sur
veyed stands ready to pay its share OF
the expense. In fact the company
has gone 80 far as TO make private sur
veys in many sections where II wishes
TO utilize Its own land. Above all,
the people Of the territories, now that
. bill taxing unsurveyed railroad
lands has become law, demand that
such lands be surveyed and entered as
taxable property, capable Of bearing a
portion Of the expense Of the county
and territorial government. There
can be no possible excuse urged for
Sparks action In this matter and TO
attempt excuse would be nonsensical.
As q matter Of fact the Northern Pa
cific land grant will never be forfeited
In this territory, but even II such a
likelihood existed the survey of its
lands could by no possibility prejudice

The Diamond's CeaseIess Twinkle.

Many people, especially those who
make habit of noting such things,
have been puzzled to understand why
the diamonds worn in earrings by ladies
nowadays maintain such ceaseless
quivering motion. II makes no differ
ence that the head of the wearer is in
perfect repose or that she is even speech
less and therefore exerting no muscle OF
face or feature. The ceaseless twinkle
of the diamond goes on, enhancing
greatly the flashing beauty of the gem.
! Twas curious enough to try to solve the
mystery Of what seemed a very close
approximation to perpetual motion, and
/ asked jeweler the secret. lie told
me it lay in the setting OF the diamond,
and that the method was a patented
device. The patentee was reaping
royalty Of $50 apiece from every manu-
featuring jeweler to whom he sold the
privilege Of using it.
The stone is set in the usual manner,
except that band like the handle of a
diminutive basket is attached to the
framework. On the underslde ot this
band is a cup-like cavity. On the lower
part of the hoop is projecting pin
pointed with rodium, a metal which
never wears out-somewhat like the
iridium with which gold pens are tipped.
Now, when the diamond is put in posi-
tion on the hoop the rodium point pro-
jects into the cup. The consequence is
what scientists would call n condition OF
unstable equilibrium. Like the pea
blown with pipe by schoolboy the
diamond is given no rest, with the differ
ence that no effort is required to keep it
dancing. The metal point never wears
out. The diamond is ever seeking to
balance itself upon the point and never
succeeds. Witha microscope examined
an earring which lady friend detached
for my benefit. Then saw at glance
the ingenious mechanism Of the invcn.

Aroma of Red Cedar,

The aroma Of red cedar is fatal TO
house moths; the aroma of black walnut
leaves is fatal TO fleas. 1t is matter of
common observation that persons en-
gagged in the business Of making shingles
from odoriferous cypress timber in
malarial districts are rarely IL ever
affected by malarial diseases. and that
persons engaged in distilling turpentine
do not suffer from either malarial dis
eases or consumption. II is said that
when cholera was epidemic in Memphis,
Tenn, persons working in livery stables
were entirely exempt from il. II is
affirmed that since the destruction of
the Glove trees on the island Of Ternate
the colony has suffered from epidemics
unknown before; and in times when
cholera has prevailed in London and
Paris those employed in the perfumery
factories have escaped its rayages. Bos-

The consumption of flesh appears to be
modified largely by climatic conditions
and also to be proportioned tc the degree
ofactivity of people. In London for in
stance il annually exceeds 252 pounds
per year for each individual; in Paris it
is nearly 1854 l-2 pounds; in Berlin it 10
10 l-2 pounds. Throughout France the
average consumption is about rs pounds
1t has increased more rapidly for yean
in Germany than in France, especially
in the large towns, where less farina-
ceous food is consumed aud more meat
than formerly.
In nearly all parts Of the world it is
found that more flesh is consumed in
towns than in the country, and there is
a marked decrease in the consumption
of pork, but notable increase in beef
while veal and mutton remain about
stationary. New York Market Journal.

A post on the royal yacht-a happy
episode of two years-was held hy Hobart
PaSha for time. lie tells in his rem
iniscences how the prince consort
would often good naturcdly smoke his
cigar with the officers, and adds;
"Apropos of smoking cannot refrain
from mentioning little incident that
happened on board the Victoria and Al
bert that /, for one, shall never forget.
Her gracious majesty never approved Of
smoking, and it was only through the
kind consideration of the prince consort
that we were allowed TO indulge in an
occasional cigar in the COW huuSc. The
cow house was little place fitted up for
two pretty. small alderney cows, kept
specially for supplying milk and butter
for the royal table. Her majesty was
.ery fond of these animals. and had the
habit of visiting them every day. and the
young princes used to be held up to look
in at the window, out of which there
was room for the favored cows to stretch
their heads.
One evening we We're smoking as
usual, when | espied pot Of blue paint
on the deck of the COW house. with, as
bad luck would have it, brush in the
pot. | cannot say what induced me, but
/ deliberately took tn brush and painted
the tips of the noses and the horns Of
both animals pretty light blue. Hav-
